JAPAN POST INSURANCE Co., Ltd. ( (JP:7181) ) has provided an update.
Japan Post Insurance reported a decline in ordinary income to ¥5.63 trillion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026, but sharply improved profitability, with ordinary profit jumping nearly 60% to ¥271.9 billion and net income attributable to shareholders rising 36.7% to ¥168.8 billion. The insurer’s equity ratio strengthened from 5.4% to 7.1%, net assets grew to ¥4.15 trillion, and the company lifted annual dividends to ¥124 per share before a three-for-one stock split, while guiding for lower income and profit in fiscal 2027 as it factors in reduced ordinary income, weaker net profit and the planned cancellation of treasury stock, implying a more conservative earnings outlook despite the improved capital position.
Operating cash flow remained negative, though large-scale investing inflows continued to support liquidity, with cash and cash equivalents at year-end at about ¥1.75 trillion versus ¥1.98 trillion a year earlier. For the year to March 2027, management forecasts an 8.8% drop in ordinary income to ¥5.13 trillion and a 16.5% fall in net income to ¥141 billion, alongside a lower forecast dividend of ¥50 per share post-split, signaling a reset of shareholder returns and earnings expectations after the latest year’s profit rebound.
